This appears to be happening on my wife's iPhone as well, It asked for permissions but doesn't have the request permissions in the list to grant.

When you go to the backup page, does it request you grant additional permission?

[sinofool]

No, If the user didn't give the full permission for the first time. All the following visit will only open application settings as I originally screenshot shows. There is no option to grant the full access.

What i discovered was that in iOS, the permissions would disappear for not only immich but many of the other apps as well. I'm not sure if this is a bug in iOS or not, but a cold reboot corrected the issue.
